We invite you to follow the money saved with us to a charity or social enterprise near you.

Money is an intrepid traveller, destined for diverse locations across the globe, invested in businesses and industries, some positive others destructive. Its most unsavoury destinations are well documented: the arms trade, gambling, tobacco, industries where workers are exploited or environments damaged, the making of corrupt payments to secure contracts... You get the picture.

Our Follow the Money series of events are designed to give you the opportunity to follow the money saved in our ethical accounts to a charity or social enterprise near you.

We are visiting two charities in the Midlands; Towcester Museum, a registered charity dedicated to providing a quality museum and visitor centre for Towcester, featuring family friendly activities, historical dioramas and fascinating artifacts, and; Emmaus Village Carlton, part of the Emmaus movement in the UK which supports people to work their way out of homelessness, providing meaningful work and a stable home for as long as they need it. 

We look forward to sharing their stories with you and showcasing the fantastic work these organisations are doing to support people in your community.

Once you’ve registered, we’ll confirm specific details for the day including timings, travel options & dietary requirements in the run up to the event.
